The Fan – Review

October 1, 1996

The Fan is typical big-budget, glossy, action/suspense given a little extra grit beneath the polish by a top-flight cast and crew.

Waiting For Guffman – Review

October 1, 1996

This is not slap-in-the-face-with-a-giant-trout comedy; it’s a welcome example of a more rarefied, looser form of humor – knowing, sly, and sweetly sardonic.

Synthetic Pleasures – Review

September 1, 1996

Filmed on location from Tokyo to Detroit to cyberspace, Pleasures samples from a staggeringly ambitious menu of cutting-edge technologies.

River’s Edge – Review

September 1, 1996

The murdered girl is as resonant a portrait of femininity fragility as Ophelia, except she didn’t drown and Ophelia didn’t spend all of Hamlet lying naked.

Ninja Scroll – Review

September 1, 1996

If you are interested in Japanimation, this is a good one to get; it is a solid and entertaining piece of work. It is not the very best, but it holds its own.

My Own Private Idaho – Review

September 1, 1996

Gus Van Sant took the story of Henry IV to the streets of Portland, Oregon, where the trashy flesh-peddlers and addicts roam on a pilgrimage into the void.

Kingpin – Review

September 1, 1996

In Kingpin, the latest from local boys the Farrelly brothers, Murray puts in one of his best performances since What About Bob?. Piled high with great cameos.

A story of rapid acceleration – from living in a cardboard box in Tomkins Square Park at 19 to Andy Warhol protegĆ© at 21 to death by overdose at 27.

A Time to Kill – Review

September 1, 1996

It’s a fine, hard-nosed courtroom drama, with all the required plot twists and dramatic elements in place – it ain’t no Pelican Brief, thank God.
